Water/Spray Tanks UGE014/0999
2-6 DESCRIPTION
● Tank Drain System: All tanks have overflow stand pipes
that continuously carry modulating water to the drain with-
out drain valving. To drain the tank quickly, one to three
drains are supplied, depending on the tank length and tank
size. Additional tank drains, controlled by gate valves,
empty into the tank drain header pipe. The header pipe,
made of rigid PVC with demented fittings, is attached to
the base frame and slopes toward the extruder.
The large drain size provides unrestricted water flow to the
plant drains or plant water recovery system.
● Casters and Wheels: The tank base is supported at all four
corners by vee grooved casters. Plain wheels are available.
● Leveling Jacks: After positioning the tank, it is necessary
to anchor the tank against line forces. Two leveling jacks
(floor locks) are provided on one side of the base, effective-
ly anchoring the tank in place.
● Vertical Adjustment System: The tank support system is
moved vertically up and down on each end to position the
centerline and to level the horizontal plane. The cradle car-
rying the tank rests on micro-height adjusting plate at each
end. The cradle is caged axially by angles welded to the
micro-height plates. The small handwheel horizontally
mounted to each micro-height plate engages a worm gear to
drive a vertically mounted threaded rod. When the hand-
wheel is rotated, that end of the tank is moved up or down.
The adjustment is self locking.
● Horizontal Adjustment Option: To allow side-to-side
positioning, the sides of the cradle are moved away from
the tank. Rotation of knobs, which drive threaded blocks
beneath the tank, moves the tank side to side.
● Axial Adjustment Option: This option allows you to
move the tank backward and forward (longitudinally) in a
precise manner, with positive locking at any position. The
tank is supported on caged solid rollers running in short
tracks to allow easy movement. Rotation of the large hand-
wheel produces axial motion of the tank, depending on the
status of the detent arm. When the detent is disengaged, the
shaft is free to turn and the tank will move toward the
puller. When the detent is pushed in and engaged, the one
way locking action of the bearing on the shaft prohibits
shaft rotation and the tank is locked in position. The detent
must be removed if tank movement toward the puller is
desired.
